I am in need of a complete dash wiring harness for my 1971 240z. also the gas gauge and amp gauge. thanks hope some one can help me out. Rick

I have decided not to buy Brads velo rossa kit. I am not ready yet and I don't want to make him wait for me to finish my amc amx. So he has relisted his kit on portiand craiglist. He has it listed for $5450. That includes the Kit a 75 280 donor car partialy disembled and a 4 bolt main 350 also the chasiss renforcement kit. Very good deal. He is a really nice guy, and easy do talk to so if you know anybody that want to build a velo rossa please pass on the info. Thanks, Rick

I spoke with dave at Rebello and he told me that the 3 liter engine has a nice flat torque curve. I don't like the sound of a ohv v8 in a ferrari replica. It has to be a dohc v8 or even a v12. After starting this thread I read other threads about BMW v12 's. I am going to look in to that as well. I am not worried about more than 300 hp the torque at about the same. In a 2500lbs car that is plenty of juice. I want it to sound throaty (sp). And I want it to look good. I would like to do something like Chelle's car. When I get closer to that point I will contact her and ask some questions She really seems to know her stuff. And her car is beautiful . Thanks, Rick

Thanks for the Quote. That engine is tight in there. Makes the car look like an over stuffed chicken. Not sure I want that look.

Well I go back and forth on this engine descion. A Rebello z engine sounds good. he says he can deliver a turn key engine 3l with 300hp and around the same amount of torque. The z engine would be a drop it in and go. the v8 swap would be alot more work.

Ok I will do a search thanks. Do you know anything about Rebelo Racing? I talked to a guy there named Dave he really seemed to know what he was talking about. One of there engines would be another opion.

If anyone is repling to this thread I am no getting it. or I hav done somthing wrong. Send message to rick71cuda@webtv.net and tell me how to get replys please thanks.

Hi guys I am new to this forum. I am going to buy a velo rossa kit with donor car and I am thinking about putting a ford 4.6 dual overhead cam engine in it. Has anyone done this swap. I went to a local junk yard and messured one and it will fit. but the thermo stat housing is in a strange spot. It sticks out on the bottom left. It might cause a problem. Dose anyone know about that. I like this engine because it is ferrari like.
